Texting while driving

Did you know Rhode Island is the 19th state to ban texting while driving? It has become a major cause in teen accidents. Just one text message forces you to look away and in that second anything could happen. You might think "It wont happen to me" or "im good at texting while driving", thats not always the case. If you text while drive you could get a $100 fine. If you are under age 18 you will have your license suspended for 60 days. There are much more serious things that could also happen. You could take away the life of other drivers on the road or even yourself. Hands free devices are recommended. If you need to text and/or call in an emergency, you should pull over. It is a much safer decision. Whatever you choose to do, i hope its the right choice.
